Playr: yet another HTML5 <video> player

License

MIT License

Compatibility

All major browsers.

Features

  • Easy integration
  • Multiple SubRip / WebVTT tracks support
  • Keyboard accessible
  • True fullscreen

Notes on local testing

Some browsers disable XMLHttpRequest on local files by default.

  • Opera: enable opera:config#UserPrefs|AllowFileXMLHttpRequest
  • Chrome: launch it with --allow-file-access-from-files

Usage

Just add the class name "playr_video" to your video tag:

<video src="myVideo.ext" class="playr_video">
	<track kind="subtitles" label="English Subtitles" srclang="en" src="mySubs.srt" /> // optional
</video>

You can now force the caption rendering if you prefer to use Playr's rendering over the native one, by adding the following attribute:

<video ... data-rendering="playr">

WebVTT implementation
